Arlington Jazz Festival, 13th annual: entire schedule now set.

Arlington Jazz Festival, April 4-7 2024: 13th Annual. presented by Arlington Jazz; schedule now finalized, highlighting a wide variety of musical styles, performed by New England-based performers, + guests from Cuba, & headliner Christian McBride.

The Arlington Jazz Festival has been held annually since 2012, usually in April, which has become known internationally as Jazz Appreciation Month. Festival originator / organizer / producer and Arlington-resident Dan Fox initially dubbed his vision as the A-Town Jazz Festival, when it was more of a relatively small but ambitious experiment.

Fox's first efforts proved to be mighty enough that he has continued programming the Festival on a yearly basis. Even without missing a beat in 2020, when it needed to go virtual. Now the annual Festival has blossomed to the point that this year's festival headliner Christian McBride and his new quintet sold out well over a month ago, long before the rest of the festival schedule was revealed this past weekend. Evidence that the Arlington Jazz Festival's grapevine has become very robust.

Further highlights for this year can now be viewed at arlingtonjazz.org/2024-festival-schedule.html, which includes special guest Espirales from Cuba, who is on their first U.S. tour. Espirales has already been a featured act in Havana, at both the International Jazz Plaza Festival and the Habana Clásica Music Festival.

Other Arlington Jazz Festival performers include Billy Novick and Guy Van Duser, Lydia Harrell, Rafael Barata, and more.
